Explanation:

Case 1: The given relation applies to consecutive angles

Consecutive angles of a parallelogram add up to  

180

∘

Let  

a

and  

b

be consecutive angles (measured in degrees) such that the given relation holds:

XXX

Case 2: The given relation applies to opposite angles

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

Let  

a

be the measure (in degrees) of the referenced opposite angles (and  

b

be the measure of the other two angles:  

a

Explanation:

In a parallelogram, there are only two sizes of angle - two are acute and two are obtuse.

Opposite angles are equal .

Consecutive angles are supplementary because they are co-interior angle on parallel lines.

An additional solution to the one given by Alan P is using the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a parallelogram is 360°.

Let one angle be  

x

The size of the other angle is given by  

9

x

−

30

2

x

+

2

(

9

x

−

30

)

=

360

   

←

sum of the angles is 360°

x

−

60

=

360

20

x

=

420

x

=

21

°

The obtuse angles are each  

180

−

21

=

159

°

The other option where the given angle is the opposite angle is described is well explained by Alan P.

A right triangle is given with a missing value of t. It is stated that the triangle is an acute right triangle with angles 50∘ a
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: t=20°


Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, the sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees.

2. Keeping the information above on mind, you can write the following expression:

90+50+2t=180

3. Now, you must solve for t as following:

140+2t=180\\2t=180-140\\2t=40\\t=\frac{40}{2}\\t=20

4. Therefore, the value of t is 20°

Match the information on the left with the appropriate equation on the right.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

See attachment below

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first option, we are given m = - 2 / 3, b = 3. This is likely in the point - slope form y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y - intercept. Thus, the equation of the line in point - slope form given this information, should be y = - 2 / 3x + 3. It seems as if none of the following equations match this form, so let us interchange the equation a bit,

y = - 2 / 3x + 3,

y + 2 / 3x = 3,

2x + 3y = 9 - Option C

_______________________________________________________

Next we are given m = - 3 / 2, and that this line passes through the point ( 4, - 1 ). Substitute m as - 3 / 2, x as 4, y as - 1, knowing point ( 4, - 1 ), into the form y = mx + b - solving for b.

- 1 = ( - 3 / 2 )( 4 ) + b,

b = 5,

Thus the equation in point - slope form should be y = - 3 / 2x + 5. None of the choices match this, so let us again alter the equation,

y = - 3 / 2x + 5,

2y = - 3x + 10,

- 2y = 3x - 10 - Option A

_______________________________________________________

( 6, 3 ) and ( 3, 1 ) is given to lie on this line. The slope of the line should be as follows,

Slope = 3 - 1 / 6 - 3 = 2 / 3

Now let us determine the y - intercept ( b ) by substitute one of the points, say ( 6, 3 ). In this case x = 6, and y = 3,

3 = ( 2 / 3 )( 6 ) + b,

b = - 1,

y = 2 / 3x - 1 = Option D
